Why doesn't my hair grow?

It is NOT genetics, most of the women in my family have long hair unless they cut it. I go to the hair salon every two weeks and get my hair washed.blow dried and straightened. I recently got a keratin treatment to help manage because you know,it's winter. People say my hair is growing but it is aggravating because I don't see a difference. Almost every time they trim my hair and I look so weird because I have a round face. I'm 14 (Just if you wanted to know my age)

    Wash it every week and dont put too many chemicals in your hair. Wrap it every night and put a silk scarf on it -- regular scarves can pull out your hair, but not silky scarves.

    Unlike the previous answer, I recom mend that you wash and condition it at least once a day. Dont use cheap conditioner. Take niacin or other vitamins to maximize the growth potential. It is good to get a trim every 6-8 weeks to cut off the dead ends. It will help it grow faster.

    Washing hair every day does not help it to grow faster. ONLY eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water with the addition of a multivitamin will help. Also, exercising increases blood flow in the body therefore will increase blood flow to the scalp as well. Multivitamins from a nutrition store are the best because of the potency.

    The best advice I can give you is proper nutrition. Eat food rich in protein (like eggs) and as much fruits and vegetables as you can.

    Remember to eat a lot of protein, especially fish, for essential fatty acids. If you are a vegetarian, eat lots of legumes and beans. Drink 8-10 glasses of water and take B vitamins.

    Stress also thins your hair and does not help the growth of your hair.

    Everyone' hair grows at different rates. The only way it will grow at its best is to look after it: cut off split ends, wash it when it needs to be washed, and protect it when you are applying heat to it.

    Well its been said that Beer can grow your hair fast, but if you are too young to drink, or you just dont drink, than there are other ways..

    1) Protein:

    Protein causes youre hair to grow, and quickly. Foods with high protein are; nuts, potato, and of course Meat, mostly chicken.

    2) Cutting your hair:

    i know this sounds ridiculous, making your hair shorter..will make it longer? but its true. if you cut the ends of your hair a little bit then it will surely grow fast.

    3) Heat;

    In general, it is best to avoid hot rollers, curling irons, or dryers because they will damage hair and make long hair less attractive over time. Consider washing your hair at night and letting it air-dry instead.

    4) Shampoo;

    I would suggest it try using Dermo biotin shampoo ( you can ge t it f rom w….dermobiotin….c ) I use it all the timeand it does aid in growing your hair faster.

    5) Brushing;

    NEVER brush your hair while its wet, if you must, than please, please use a comb.

    6) Sleeping;

    Try sleeping on a satin pillow case, as other coarse materials will pull and tag at your hair causing it to break whereas your hair will just glide across the satin.

    7) Health

    For some people, it is possible that areas of your life such as diet, exercise, hours of sleep, and stress affect hair growth. Healthy habits will promote healthy hair

    I have the same problem. If you hair is thin it may not look like its growing, but it is. The best ways to make your hair grow is avoiding heat, taking biotin pills every day, and only washing hair 3-4 times a week. I just started this routine and already have noticed a difference :)

Well you should not wash your hair until like the third day from the last time you washed it. Also eat a lot of meat,fish and tofu lots of protein. Just be patient sont worry im so fustrated i get so jealous kf other girls long hair but im sucking it up and waiting hopefully. Just be patient and watch or you can buy hair extensions on amazon or ebay. I hope it goes fine. 👌☺️
